Many tourists who visit Sanya will go to Wuzhizhou Island, but not many people are familiar with West Island. It is located in Tianya District of Sanya City near the city centre. The scenery is beautiful. The island does not have much traffic and the small fishing village has been visited by many artists, eventually becoming known as a literary sacred place. This place is very suitable for taking pictures. It can even rival Gulangyu Island in Xiamen. Have you been here?

I have heard that there is a wedding church on top of the mountain. It must be a very romantic place. There are many newlyweds taking pictures for their wedding album at the same time with their various photography teams. When I came to the old-fashioned scenic spot so that I could cross the Yangtze Bride, I found that it was the exact location on the If You Are the One poster. Surprisingly, it was quite empty. This is another type of romance in itself. It is recommended that people go there after four o’clock since you won’t experience too much of the sun. The only disadvantage is that you have to pay to enter. Even so, who can reject such a great opportunity?

West Island is a maritime island in Sanya. A ferry ride that lasts 30 minutes will get you there. In addition to the sea entertainment and the beautiful sea views, Xidao Fishing Village is also a great place to find the simpler folk traditions, capture the most primitive fishing style of the village and feel the most rustic vibes of the fishermen. The young ones play and fish in the sea while the older folks watch their children and grandchildren. This is the most memorable scene of our trip to the fishing village in the West Island. 

Despite the poor weather, the atmosphere for aerial photography is not diminished. There are large and small scenic spots that can be photographed. It was late, and the weather was mild. The quality of the drone was reduced once the light started to fade. The turquoise of the waters can still be seen, however. If the weather had been better, the pictures would have been more vivid and beautiful. Every time I visit the scenic spots near the sea, I wish I could live there to appreciate the tides, the sunrise and the sunset. If you want to watch the sunrise, staying in a cabin that has a good view. The most scenic spots are only open at 8am, however, so you will not be able to live in the places that show the best view of the sunrise. 

Houhai Village has not been developed except for the local fisherman. The sunrise in this village is beautiful and the sunset fascinated me. Compared to the Sanya Urban area, where tourism is quite mature, it is a quiet village where people live like in a forgotten secret. The bay is very calm. Queens Bay is located on the east side of Sanya and it is the most suitable place to watch the sunrise. When I visited the beach, the sun was nice, and it did not feel as though I was getting scorched. The waters of the sea retreated, so the beach stretched out farther off than usual. There are many tourists who visit this bay, and many of them have gone out into the sea, enjoying the water activities. The yellow on the horizon is bright, and the blue of the ocean is deep.

My friends and I have visited Sanya many times. The city is at the southernmost tip of Hainan Island. When visited at the right time, you can enjoy the warm sun. Some of our old drivers who often visited Sanya, would go there just to bask in the sun. Although two days is a short time, there was still time for eating, drinking and having fun. You can visit the fish market and eat all the different kinds of seafood that you want. You can even go and lay on the beach, doing absolutely nothing, and still have a good time. Everything works here. 

Wuzhizhou Island in Sanya combines romance and leisure and is a great place to go on a vacation. The island is small, the sea is clear and blue, and the sand is white and soft. While walking on the boardwalk by the sea, you can enjoy the view of the sea, while also enjoying the view of the tropical rainforest. Walking around is a very leisurely activity. Wuzhizhou Island enjoys the reputation of being the first diving base in China. Those who enjoy marine activities such as snorkelling and diving should not miss out on these. If you want to go for one of these, you should make bookings on the travel website in advance as you can get discounts. If you enjoy activities such as these, you can even book tickets that are all inclusive. 1399 HKD for ferry tickets, entertainment and gourmet lunch. This may be a more affordable option.  A few things you need to pay attention to are: 1. You will spend a long time outdoors so please wear a sun hat and apply sunscreen to protect your skin. 2. There is a difference in the temperature during the day and the night, so please bring warm clothes and rain gear.

People say that the sea in Yalong Bay is the cleanest and most delicate in all the bays in Sanya. The sea is also the clearest blue. We stayed in Haitang Bay and didn’t want to leave. I finally decided to drive out to see this bay since I wanted to know what it was like. There are many ways to have fun trying out the different water activities here.  The entertainment options are available right on the beach. Luxury yachts, sailing boats, snorkelling, paragliding, motorboats, etc. are all good choices. Yalong Bay Traffic Guide: Only 30 minutes’ drive from the city, 40 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes’ drive from Tropical Paradise Park. Commercial shopping food circles include: Baihuagu Commercial Street, Outlets, Aicu, Yatai Commercial Centre Bus: You can take bus No. 15 and No. 27 (Phoenix Airport to Yalong Bay)

The movie "Private Customs" was shot in Wuzhizhou Island. It is located in Haitang Bay in the north of Sanya City. Compared with Yalong Bay, the surrounding waters are clear and transparent. The sea is visible for about 27 meters, with vast waves and endless skies. Enjoy the reputation of “China's first diving base”. It is also a favourite place for weddings. Some people say that it has a similar visual to the Maldives. Holding hands with your beloved with a backdrop of blue sea and blue sky makes it a very romantic place to be. There are a variety of water activities to indulge in at the bay. Even if you don’t want to do any of them, you will find that simply watching the sea and the people swimming and playing at the beach is very pleasant.
